Bodies, blades and freaks

Definitely on a roll here.

Borrowed, started and finished Cornwell's The Body Farm yesterday, and was very much reminded of the fact that I don't like her books all that much. This has to do with detesting her main character Kay Scarpetta, with not being particularly happy with Cornwell's style and with generally preferring other crime authors, such

I'm a slow reader AND a distracted reader. Which means I spend to much time re-reading all-time favorite passages in all-time favorites instead of finishing other books, and reading six books at the same time. I count myself lucky if I complete a 52-book-a-year challenge (looks good for this year). *sigh*

How did you like "The Child That Books Built". I couldn't identify with most of what he's read because it's not part of my culture. Never read "Little House On The Prairie", and the Narnia books only as an adult. But I liked it a lot anyway, I just like how he talks about books and the stories he tells about them and how they affected him.

Also, this post is doing really strange things to my friends-page, it loads all on one side and is all crooked and weird. Took me ages to find the "comment" button, but once on the comment-page it looked ok again.

I'm a distracted reader too, and spend far too much time re-reading faves too... Huh, should I count re-reads in my table? Maybe add a column to mark them.

But I've always read really fast. I'm enormously impatient in some ways, and I suspect that's what's made me become so damn fast. I wanna see what happens, even in non-fiction.

I read a quite interesting theory once, about how dyslectic people had their reading problems escalate because they read too slow to give their brain enough to work with, hence the brain gets bored and veers off the golden path of concentration, hence they can't concentrate sufficiently on what they read. Makes sense, I think.

How about we get back to The Child That Books Built when I've finished? So far I identify lots, but I've only read a few chapters.

Eeek! I hate posts that screw with friends pages. Once in a slow week, it took me ages to get rid of a friend's post that did bizarre things to my layout.
